 Magnetohydrodynamic Bernoulli invariant

ID: magnetohydrodynamic-bernoulli-invariant

Along a steady axisymmetric ideal-MHD wind, the total specific energy

ϵ = \frac{1}{2} ∣ u ∣^{2} + Φ + h - \frac{r ω B _{ϕ}}{μ _{0} k}

is constant on each magnetic surface. The last term is the electromagnetic energy transported per unit mass flux.
